Very small and light weight. Quiet as a mouse. Doesn’t need external power source

Great for PS4

Needed more space maxed out 1 TB on PS4 in 6 months.
This works great. Bestbuy matched Amazon no problem
Lots of color choices. If you game you need this product.
*** Don't forget to bring it with you when you take your PS4
With you.

tiny item, big storage

love how compact and light the drive is, and the cover is very durable fabric. the cover has straps that keep it from opening all the way after unzipping, so the contents don't come tumbling out, and there is a pocket that's big enough for the cable and a thumb drive. the drive itself is the size of two decks of playing cards side by side. it comes in different colors - I got blue so i could find it on my desk. i love my purchase. highly recommend.

Good drive, not durable

by James

The size, cost, convenience and USB3.0 support is great. I bought two. They are quiet and well-sized.
However, they are not durable; in the process of backing one up it just died. About 10 minutes before it fell off the couch, and disconnected; I reconnected it and all seemed well, and then the entire Windows Explorer froze out. I rebooted my computer and then the drive would not show up in MyComputer, device manager, or in command prompt diskpart.
So while it worked great for two years, one minor bump lost about 500gb+ of data. Luckily most of it was redundant.

Very fast and effecient

Works perfectly, I have no complaints at all. WD never disappoints.

Misleading advertising - No password or encryption

by Mike

The included "security" features for passwords and 256 encryption does not work with windows 10. I thought this must be just my system, but it's right there on the product info file included in the software. Good thing you made something in 2017 that's compatible with Windows Vista though... So no encryption or password protection at all. Piece of garbage.

DO NOT PURCHASE

I bought this drive new in October. My Mac frequently does not recognize it, and it often doesn't connect. The cable is flimsy and the drive feels cheap and plasticky. The return policy on hard drives at Best Buy means that if you buy it you can't return it.
This product has been a huge disappointment, and I will not be purchasing another Western Digital Drive.

could be better

The software that comes with this thing will only backup what's on the PC it's plugged into. DUMB.
Luckily there are free third party apps that will allow backup of network storage.
